Castles of Scotland


Over rolling moors, rocky peaks, wind swept beaches and along the lochs of Scotland, rise the great Scottish Castles that were built starting from the Norman invasion in the 12th century. Scottish castles guard the inlet waterways in solitude a duty that seems even to this day still stands.

Scotland, the land of the finest malt whisky has a rich varied history and it's castles that feature massive stone walls and towers, built on hills, upon cliffs guarding precarious approaches, and along critical waterways tell countless stories of bloody battles fought on her heather-cald moors and rocky beach beaches.

The heavily fortified Scottish castles are as tough and strong as it's people who have built them in a time long ago. Today they stand as monuments to a people of unique culture who would have in their time spilled their blood to protect them.
